Eilish is listed under gourmand in our scent-family guide. We include it here because its base is warm amber-vanilla, and it costs far less.
How we chose: these are best-sellers from our 24-fragrance research, grouped by scent family or price. Badges follow simple rules: Best overall goes to the strongest cited sales evidence (Circana data, retailer and editor lists); Best value to the lowest price per ounce we saw for a stated size; other badges are our editorial call from the scent and who it suits. Popularity signals counts independent sources (sales data, editor or retailer lists) cited for the fragrance; it is a count, not a rating. We did not lab-test anything, and we don't show Amazon prices or star ratings. Full method.
